Not errors, but I'd suggest changing these to flow better.under Hwang Komori, "These larval form of bollé" to "These bollé larvae"under Maekgaibo "the last paths input into their memory banks." to "their last-programmed paths." or "the last paths put into their memory banks."under Gold Nuggets, "an exit rope leading to an exit." to "a rope leading out."Art is lovely.Lingerer description is perfect.

Curious what all those words and names mean outside of this context, as I'm not familiar with their language[s] of origin:[hwang] komori[chung/hong] bollémaekgaibo[bam/ja] nalgaegopjilbul sot

Thanks a ton, Myask. That's exactly the kind of proofreading I need. I'll implement all of those changes.

As for etymology, it's Korean (and errs toward the side of sino-Korean, or Korean with Chinese origins, especially in regards to color). I try implement it into my work whenever I can, and I'm also a big fan of enemy names using foreign languages to generate fantasy naming conventions (apparently Koopa originates from gukbap, a Korean broth served with rice, I could only speculate from the similarity between the bowl and the shell.) But plenty of enemy and item nameswere simply not localized, just transliterated in game manuals, and I really dig that.

Anyway, the word origins are as follows:(Standard romanization given when different. For example, the eo in Korean romanization is intended to be pronounced like the short o in dog. Also, I freely chose between older and newer romanization in regards to consonants (such as j and ch or g and k)

Luckily, I'm not an intern Googling exotic phrases (intentionally hyperbolic exaggeration of whatever situation led to Lego's situation). I'm an immigrant with long and deep roots in the culture who also does my research when needs be. I choose to incorporate Korean culture and linguistics into my work because it is a deep part of who I am and so that one day, my children may see it and feel a connection to it. Would rather not soapbox, though. Enjoy the art.

@Myask: Yeah, Korean has a number of loanwords and phrases from English that are used differently, commonly an adjective may be used in place of a noun, or syllables will be broken up, dropped, and reused. For example, sandwich is frequently just sand. So, you can see things marketed as Cheese Sand. I'm pretty sure it's common in all languages (English's introduction of other languages' words being no exception) but it doesn't make it any less amusing. Also, I apparently have never once spelled MacGyver correctly.

@TepplesI read the source link for the Maori controversy, and it's an interesting read. I certainly didn't mean to imply that appropriate research and consideration shouldn't be made, (though I could see due to my phrasing that it could have been read that way).

under Gold Pots:"gold. these bul sot" is that a comma? It should be, and I think it already is, but this is a little too low-res to tell.under Bul Sot:is the punctuation after "explosives" a comma? It should be, and I think it already is, but this is a little too low-res to tell.

Otherwise, looks good to me (though I invite others to look, generally any editor is significantly worse on their second pass through something, being familiar, their memories autofilling what they read…)

So, I'm vectorizing a few assets for the A53 packaging, and I found out that the Create Object Mosaic feature in Illustrator is a pretty efficient way of doing so. Previously, I had been using an embarrassingly tedious method from a Youtube video that involved filling in a grid cell-by-cell with the Live Paint tool.

I posted detailed instructions (assuming no or basic previous experience with Illustrator) on my blog in case anyone else could benefit from it.

A little early preview video (from a week or more ago) of a title Lukasz Kur and I are working on. Trying to wrap it up, from start-to-finish, in just a little over a month (coming up on that deadline very soon.)
